The porcupine population is up in the neighbourhood. One of these guys was not too far from us, right at the big beaver hut in the swamp. We got out of the car and he wasn’t afraid of us. We didn’t crowd him so he let Barry get some photos… I will post once I get them from him.

There are a few grizzlies hanging out near Wells. I still have not seen one myself… ever! I guess that’s a good thing.

Last year I saw 1 caribou all year, hoping I see more this year! People have seen our herd with many young so that’s good news!

No moose yet but we have one living on the property again, we see signs of him but Mini keeps them away from our front yard. There were a lot of Lynx around this last winter. We had one just on the other side of the creek, we would see fresh tracks often. There was one hanging out at the ski hill for a good chunk of the season which I found weird, I thought they would stay further away.

Anyways, this years count is underway.
